10. 23% 40% 72% 77% A More Comfortable Space: EYP, Architecture Firm
Before Pilot:
23%
of participants regularly felt uncomfortable cold or warm even when others around them were comfortable
40%
reported that thermal discomfort sometimes interfered with their ability to be productive at work
After Pilot:
72%
of participants reported feeling more in control of their own thermal comfort
77%
of employees felt less bothered by temperature when they felt cold
Embr Wave, device used in pilot
Before the pilot, 23% of participants regularly felt uncomfortably cold or warm even when others around them were comfortable, and 40% said that being thermally uncomfortable sometimes interfered with their ability to be productive at work.
The results were incredible: 72% of them felt more in control of their own thermal comfort with Embr Wave.
72% of participants reported
Embr Wave also helped 77% of employees feel less bothered by the temperature.

14. Summary: The Evolving Methods of Data Collection
Thermal
Cleanliness
Lighting
Occupancy
Air Quality
Human
Existing
New
Human = Crowdsourced data
Existing = In touch with existing platforms, whether they be mobile devices or other systems in the office; from building systems
New = Proprietary data collection techniques (unique sensors, devices, applications, etc.)
Empty Human-Occupancy block is intuitive, as we have seen that people’s perception of their own occupancy is wildly different than (50% of) their actual occupancy
Change from categories to timeline; change from startups to case study examples?
Evolving in sophistication
Human
Progression example of utilization from badging to new sensors
Reframe each startup as a case study with problem and solution; how each company measured what matters to solve a problem
